Description

Judd-361, Pollock-432, is among the last of the 1864 proof cent patterns. This penultimate variety in the J-353 through J-362 series represents one of the final experimental concepts evaluated for the Indian Head cent during this transformative year. The ten distinct Judd numbers for 1864 cent patterns, many with multiple composition variants, produced over twenty total varieties — a testament to the importance the Mint placed on getting the new bronze cent right.

Rarity Notes
